Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

No one may remember me, but I used to frequent this site almost everyday quite a while back. I stopped using it because my life, and therefore IBS, was very manageable. Well, not anymore!!!

Stress was always the #1 factor in my IBS. No-no foods was #2. I have been staying away from dairy, red and fatty meats, high IF foods, etc. Every now and then I was able to nibble on something bad, like a bit of cheese on my pasta, or some cream in my coffee. My IBS is running amok again and nothing I eat manages to stay in my system for very long.

The stressors: My BF of 4 years was recently contacted by his ex on their old anniversary, 4/25. Totally random and out of the blue. It would have been OK if she hadn't brought the anniversary up AND if she hadn't brought up their old marriage plans. On top of that, that same day, 4/25, he helped one of his female friends move. I don't mind him having lady friends, but this one I can't stand! She calls him "love" and "cutie." Stuff like that. I told her nicely that it makes me uncomfortable, but she was mean about it and said something to the effect of "Get over it!"
So now my BF has been emailing back and forth with this ex. He wants to reconcile his old issues with her. I want him to get her out of our lives. Part of me thinks I am being unreasonable, but the other part can't help it! This chick left him so she could sleep with other guys. I can't understand why he is being nice to her at all... GAH!

OK, rant over....

I had to stay home from work today because my stomach is really acting up. I hate staying home from work because of this. But at least this website exists! It is extremely helpful.
